The Guardians of Traffic and the originally named Lorain Carnegie Bridge were an idea conceived in the roaring 20's but not constructed untill the midst of the depression. They are one of the many Cleveland collabarations of Architect Frank Walker and sculptor Henry Hering. Almost lost in the 1970's to the urban renewal trend at the time. The Guardians have lived to become arguably one of Cleveland's most popular landmarks. After renovation in the 1980's the bridge was renamed The Hope Memorial Bridge in honor of Cleveland's favorite son Bob Hope and his father who worked on the bridge's construction. The Bridge is now thankfully on The National Register of Historic Places.
